Answer:

The Pythagorean triplet is 10, 24 and 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Smallest number required = 10

Solution :

We know that -

A Pythagorean triplet is -

  • 2m
  • m² + 1
  • m² - 1

The Smallest Number is 2m.

So,

➙ 2m = 10

➙ m = 10/2

➙ m = 5

\rule{300}{1.5}

Value of m² + 1

➙ (5)² + 1

➙ 25 + 1

➙ 26

\rule{300}{1.5}

Value of m² - 1

➙ (5)² - 1

➙ 25 - 1

➙ 24

\therefore The Pythagorean triplet is 10, 24 and 26.

\rule{300}{1.5}

Verification :-

★ (Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Hypotenuse is always the longest side.

➙ (26)² = (10)² + (24)²

➙ 676 = 100 + 576

➙ 676 = 676

➙ LHS = RHS

\therefore The Pythagorean triplet is 10, 24 and 26.

>>The formula is (2m)2,(m2 - 1)2,(m2 + 1)2

2m= 10

Therefore m = 5.

m^2 + 1 = 26

m^2 - 1 = 24.

Therefore , the answer is 26 , 24 , 10
